Nice : Promenade des Anglais

No one has rated this yet.

Rate it

The world’s best-known seafront boulevard owes its name to the English community which funded its initial construction in 1822. Inspired by Anglican vicar Lewis Way, the community was keen to give work to the local poor. Now flanked by traffic lanes separated by flowerbeds and palms, the “Prom” sweeps majestically round the Bay of Angels. Belle époque edifices, notably the magnificent Hotel Negresco (see Le Negresco, Nice) recall Nice’s days as a magnet for European nobility. The substance has gone, but the style remains.
